Hello, everyone. This is Kimberly (tahal and mathieu), with her third character. Because this game is a drug, seriously. But anyway.
This is Simon Coibran, who some of you might recognize from Dee's little 'character's I've met' post. Yes, he was snatched from within the ranks of an NPC and made into a PC. He's a young Templar, having just taken his vows in the past year or so. And...he's not a very good Templar. He spent the majority of his childhood in the employ of a noble family in Denerim, and was never really immersed in the lore of the Chantry and all that. So while he's very good at faking it, he lacks some of the blind devotion that is expected of Templars. He does his job, but he's well-known for questioning the means and methods of his order. He started his Templar training later than most, thanks to the Darkspawn killing his mother (he doesn't know who his father is) and the noblewoman they worked for. He had nowhere else to go, so a Templar took pity on him and took him to the Chantry, where he started his training (someone saw some promise in him. Personality-wise? Well, he's a bit of a smart alec. Okay, a lot of a smart alec. He's almost always got something smart to say in response. He's good at what he does, even if he doesn't wholeheartedly believe in it. And I'm rambling. If you'd like to know more, please refer to his biography or ask! Past connections are very welcome, as well.
